finally an update on my binkie again. it's been almost 2 weeks since i first took him to the vet & thank god he's improved quite a bit.
yesterday it was time for bloodtest nr3 & his levels have gone down again, but one went up a slight bit and he has also lost a tiny bit of weight again since last week. so it's still not great yet, but good enough to continue with the treatment.
and that treatment is still a daily drip of about 250-300 ml of fluid and a pill for his mouth & stomach. last week i've learned how to give him the drip myself and i'm now doing it at home, which is great of course because it causes so much stress for binkie and so much time as well everytime i have to take him to the vet.
i do need someone to help me everytime though, someone to start the drip, while i put the needle in binkie's back and hold him, and keep an eye on when to stop.
just to give you an idea, here's the results of all the 3 bloodtests so far (and the levels as they should be between brackets):
UREA (5.7-12.9):
22/11: 46.4 (probably higher, but this is the max they can measure)
26/11: 40.3
03/12: 24.6
CREA (71-212):
22/11: 884
26/11: 586
03/12: 453
PHOS (1.00-2.42):
22/11: 5.19
26/11: 3.29
03/12: 3.33
here's some pix from this weekend, first me giving binkie his drip:

and binkie sound asleep under his blanket after his drip.he's always a bit cold because of the drip, so i tucked him in :)

So glad to hear, Honey. All my best! Kat
